From a time long long ago I have used airplane jigs for deep lake trout fishing. For the last couple of years I can't find them. There are smaller varieties still available but I would prefer my old reliables. Does anyone know where I can get them? See the pics below:

Those look like a Chisolm jig (named after the town in northern Minnesota where the guy that made them lived) but are not made anymore.
I believe the fellows last name was Pucel (pronounced POOT'sil) that made the mold.
His son would not sell the mold as I tried through a third party to buy it.
There are other similar airplane jigs that are slightly larger, called Jackpine Jigs made by Ken Katch in Bemidji.
We have them on hand, in two sizes and several different colors.

I thought I saw them advertised at the Red Rock Outfitters site. Here is a link: Red Rock

I think those are the older northland ones. I have seen them at chalstroms bait and tackle in duluth.

Northland Tackle makes some decent airplane jigs. I don't know how available they are locally in Alberta, but they are pretty easy to find here in northern Minnesota.
